What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Chubbuck licenses individual security guards and private investigators, and separately the businesses and agencies that employ them, under City Code Chapter 5.24. Before any license issues, City Code 5.24.050 requires a surety bond filed with the City Clerk, conditioned on the licensee's faithful and honest conduct and on holding the City harmless for the licensee's acts.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Chubbuck (the obligee), with anyone injured by a licensee's wilful, malicious, or wrongful act able to bring an action directly on the bond. The individual bond is set at $5,000; a security guard business or PI agency files a higher $10,000 bond instead.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Chubbuck licenses under this chapter run on a calendar year and expire December 31, so we track the renewal date and notify you ahead of the deadline to keep the bond continuous — City Code 5.24.050 also warns that if the bond lapses, the license is automatically forfeited.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the City Clerk. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with Chubbuck's City Clerk alongside your security guard or private investigator license application.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
